LSU handed Ole Miss its first loss of the year on Saturday.
After a slow start that saw the Rebels jump out to a 17-3 lead, the Tigers floored it, going on a 42-3 run. LSU’s offense found success on the air and on the ground. The defense took some time to make adjustments, but Matt House’s group didn’t allow a single point over the final two quarters.
LSU, now 6-2 and sitting atop the SEC West, has an open date before Alabama comes to town in two weeks. Expect to see LSU in the top 25 when the rankings are released on Sunday.
